| Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote |
When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
|
| John Stuart Mill Quote |
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill
|
| Aldous Huxley Quote |
One of the great attractions of patriotism -- it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous. -- Aldous Huxley

| Clarence Darrow Quote |
True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else. -- Clarence Darrow

| Edith Cavell Quote |
I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone. -- Edith Cavell

| Bertrand Russell Quote |
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. -- Bertrand Russell
|
| Samuel Johnson Quote |
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. -- Samuel Johnson
|
| Ronald Reagan Quote |
Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage. -- Ronald Reagan

| Albert Einstein Quote |
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. -- Albert Einstein
